Default Grill-Fi?

I'm looking to buy a good grill for as cheap as possible (Can I get away with <$60? ). Going to mainly use it for steaks and hotdogs, I don't imagine grilling a turkey anytime soon.

Get a cheap ufo charcoal grill if you want to get away with under $60. It's not a bad way to cook your food and it's very very multipurpose. You can grill with the grille on, or grill directly on the coals or use a skillet directly on the coals. I've even used my wok on the coals before.

Especially if you're using it as a steak grill, I wouldn't go gas for a low budget.

Agreed, cheap charcoal grill is the way to go on that. I have two grills, a cheap charcoal one I use for burgers, hot dogs, etc., and a large one with a smoke box for other things. Can't beat a cheap charcoal grill for most quick and easy grilling uses.

Get a weber charcoal for $60

Weber One-touch Silver 18 1/2 In. Charcoal Grill 441001 - eBay (item 280177102060 end time Apr-22-08 10:41:19 PDT)

I have one of these for charcoal grilling and a weber summit platinum D6 for everything else including smoke.

Or if you are looking to go a little cheaper, this one is pretty decent as well. I use an older version of it and it has withstood my pretty heavy grilling habits (pretty much 1 to 3 times a week for two years).

CharBroil? Every CharBroil grill I've ever owned has ended up burning itself up or having parts break. I've had both Charbroil gas and charcoal grills from Home Depot... I hated all of them.

Well, all I can do is speak from personal experience with the one I have. I received one for Christmas, two years ago, and have grilled with it one to three times a week, year round, and it has held up as well as can be expected. And really, we are talking about sub $60 grills here, not heavy iron, $1000 grills that last for decades.

3 years is about the shelf life for a charbroil. I'm merely suggesting to the OP that by spending a few extra $$ on the $60 weber, it will last longer and he will save money long term by not having to replace the grill.

The weber comes with a 10 year warranty.

I think you are absolutely right with your assessment.

Can usually get them for free.

Even as a second top rack for keeping things warm.
